Well as the Twice baked Bull gets finished time to let go of the pony... Saturday on the way home from Alans shop I got a call, "Would I could I display my 599 in the Mothers exotic car corral at the LBGP" I said the car is at the shop waiting to get sold but would ask if I could take her out for one last drive.. They said sure its still yours until the buyer pays.. So away I went. Last ride in the 599 from the car.. Reggae blasting, bare foot driving, with my son on the track at the Long beach GP. What a last ride for sure... will miss that pony.. Long Beach GP 2013 last ride in the 599 GTB fitting send off to a great car. - YouTube
Alan shortened the drive shafts for the Urraco last night. Getting close now..

Greetings everyone, It is with great pride I announce that the LP420 SVM Urraco aka the TWICE BAKED BULL has reached over 500,000 likes on face book! Alan Lee and his team are working hard on getting the car ready for Italy. We ship on Monday if the car meets the exacting demands of Mr Lee. Please join me in wishing Mr Alan Lee and his team a stunning success as they put the push on for the repatriation of a 1973 Lamborghini for the Lamborghini Giro 2013. https://www.facebook.com/LamborghiniLp420SvmUrraco?fref=ts We are in need of some help on the air freight shipping expenses if anyone whats to lend a hand let me know..
Door cards will be done and on the car Sunday, for now here they are almost ready. Note my fathers cuff links built in. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
I was going to say how cool is that before i noticed they are indian $5 gold pieces. Something I can relate to being a coin dealer. Now that's cool! Hopefully my son will do the same thing with some of my platinum eagles and put them somewhere tastefully in our Countach to remember me when I'm gone. Thanks for sharing that picture!
THANKS! Really wanted to put my dads memory in there and this just fits. His BIG walking Liberty chunk of 70s Bling (Mr T starter kit) well just a little much LOL.. Been a hard day, hard week, my EX is all up in arms about the car, the car is well not done. We ship on Monday and I am just down as down can be. Alan and his team are working very hard on the car. Just getting it all together and tested by tomorrow well its a daunting task. Alan said he is in good shape and has not backed off the delivery so wish him and his team a most excellent night tonight and a better tomorrow.
Screw the EX, wait take that back. But you know what I mean. If the car is not ready it's not ready things happen for a reason there WILL be a 60th. I wanted to go to this one, in fact Luigi told me today I should go anyway. My car too is not ready for something like that + I would love to enjoy it with my wife and son. I can't wait for 10 years from now..... My son will be 16 and be able to drive my old ass that's if I'm still around. If not he can do what you're doing now and I'll be somewhere in that car like your dad is with you. In the mean time to open some firewater and relax. It'll all be OK.
DOWN to the Wire folks.. Alan and his team are on hyper drive right now.. Ray just finished the door cards AMAZING CRAFTSMAN HE IS! If you have a Lambo or other car and you need beyond talented interior guy in So Cal get a hold of ABD Racing Werks they will hook you up with Ray, really they are your choice! This is 100% custom from scratch in a week I doubt I can sleep tonight. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Sad day today.. The LP420 SVM Urraco is not ready for the Giro. So its stayed in CA. We will get the baby bull re-born soon though.. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
The Motor has yet to fire there are major things still need to be done, Oh and yes the trunk is not done... The Interior is done and STUNNING! Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
AMEN! Just going to miss playing with the other bulls Next week. Missing on the body are the side Gills, and trunk lid / lip. Motor has yet to come to life wire harness, computers dash screens and plumbing to go. Interior is STUNNING!!!!!!!!!!!
This can't be happening !! ?? There must be a way ! .. it's like your ride in the Cheetah ... I WANT THAT LP420SVM IN FRONT OF MY MUSEUM !
Just throw the build team in the shipping crate and they will have it done by the time it gets there Sorry to hear, car looks amazing though. Love the lid and what you did with the back windows.
I know Jaspar I thought we could display it at the start of the Giro truck it over to your place and park it. But at $20,000 USD to do that is not worth it. Lamborghini rep in the US was quite clear if it does not run and meet safety inspection dont bring it. So it sits here. We will figure a way some day to being it over and play with the other bulls there is the 60th in ten years.. My agreement with the builder was specific as well it was to be done March first totally done and well that did not happen. He and I will have to work out a new agreement to get her done.
